Hunter's Lore
Help to Yanks
Employ Tricks Learned in
Woods in Bagging 64 of
Hitler’s Toughies.
WITH U. S. TROOPS IN BEL-
GIUM. — Bold bluffing and woods
lc*p picked up hunting in Nebraska
Mm bled one American private and
sanoe squad men he hurriedly as-
••qahled to capture 64 of Hitler s
paratroopers—those embattled sons
of the swastika who are supposed
to die rather than surrender.
Pvt. Robert Duffy of Omaha, a
signal corps messenger, was speed-
ing along in his jeep with Pfc. Ed-
ward Gerdes of St. Louis, Mo.,
when a Belgian on a bike excitedly
stopped them and warned of “Les
Boches.”
It was near the German border
and Duffy climbed out with a gun
expecting to find a couple of strag-
glers trying to filter through to the
homeland.
“But when we reached them we
saw 15 well-armed Germans ly-
ing in a field at the edge of the
woods,” said Duffy.
Then They Fled.
“We opened up. killed one and
wounded another. The rest ran into
the woods.”
Duffy and Gerdes then went back
and picked up four engineers,
a medical major and two Bel-
gian patriots with rifles and led his
small army into the woods in pur-
suit of the Germans.
“I learned to do some tracking
when I used to go hunting in
Nebraska,” said Duffy, “and I was
able to follow them by the blood-
stains left by a wounded man.
For four hours he followed the
slim trail, then—stricken by an un-
easy feeling that he was in dan-
ger—he suddenly looked up to see
a German crouching behind a tree
and about to shoot at him.
He jerked his own gun up
and he and the enemy fired at the
same moment. The Nazi missed—
but fell backward with a bullet
through his leg.
Had to Take Chance.
Duffy told the wounded man to
call on his comrades to give up
or be wiped out. The wounded Nazi
looked at Duffy's gun, saw a few
of his comrades in the background,
and decided his friends were hope-
lessly trapped. He gave a few
staccato shouts in German.
“I didn’t know whether he was
tricking me or not, but I had to
take a chance,” said Duffy. “A mo-
ment later the woods seemed to be
alive with Nazi soldiers—all com-
ing forward with hands upraised.
“They were all tougli babies and
they had been walking for 50 days,
they said, to get back into Ger-
many. They almost made it—they
were only a few miles from their
own country when we bluffed them
into giving up.
“They were so mad when they
found they had surrendered to nine
men with no gun bigger than a rifle
they wanted to start the war all
over again. But by then we had
disarmed them. So we just goose-
stepped them to the prison camp
and left them there to think it over."
